Oh My God! Earthlings are Insane! - Chapter 1752
1752 The Courage to Burst Bubbles
Many of the Blood Alliance’s higher-ups nodded subconsciously.
There were two benefits tied to Yun Feidian.
In addition to the relationships within Blood Alliance, the more important relationship was the joint management of the Thundercloud System’s massive investment projects. Together, they blew their colorful bubble bigger and bigger and deceived… no, persuaded groups such as the Dragon City Retired Teachers Association and the ordinary citizens to invest the capital that they had saved up for their entire lives. All so that they could enjoy a beautiful future where their wealth would increase and they would have financial freedom.
They knew better than anyone else that today’s Thundercloud Technology and related companies in the Thundercloud System had expanded to an ” unattainable” level.
!!
Yun Feidian was a golden signboard, so it would be fine if he did not fall.
If he fell, thousands of people would be buried with him.
“Also, the organizations under the Azure Alliance such as Broken Star Club will not directly invest in the Thundercloud System’s projects. But nowadays, capital operations are complicated, and most shares are deeply rooted. We’re bound together for good or bad.
Yun Feidian continued. “If Dragon City’s financial market is really in turmoil because of the Blood Alliance incident, Broken Star Club, Superstar Company, and other organizations under the Azure Alliance will all suffer a great loss!
“This is the most reliable protective talisman I’ve made for myself!
“Hehe. In the past year, Dragon City has welcomed an unprecedentedly unstable market. The risks in the financial market have also risen to an unparalleled level. Colorful, transparent bubbles that can seemingly expand infinitely are floating before everyone’s eyes. Little do they know that these bubbles are already on the verge of popping.
“If the North Advancement Plan had been successfully passed by the Survival Committee and executed by the nine mega corporations, we would’ve won the battle beautifully. With the new war dividends, we would’ve been able to keep the bubble going and even blow it up repeatedly.
“With that, all the citizens of Dragon City would’ve been able to enjoy the benefits of real gold and silver, while we welcome a happy ending.
“Meng Chao just had to appear out of nowhere and burst our bubble now?
“Alright, I’d like to see if he has the guts to really burst the bubble and cause Dragon City’s financial market to plummet. He’ll make countless companies go bankrupt, cause countless bank runs, make countless people go bankrupt overnight, destroy Dragon City’s decades of glory, and push Dragon City’s future economy into long-term stagnation or even decline!
“You should know that the collapse of the financial market isn’t as simple as everyone having to live frugally.
“Every time Dragon City’s economic growth rate decreases by one percent, thousands of people will die. Social order will rapidly deteriorate and collapse. It might even return to half a century ago, to the lawless bloody era.
“Compared with the collapse of the financial market and the collapse of social order, are Yun Feidian and the Blood Alliance really that dangerous?”
His words made many of the Blood Alliance’s higher-ups nod.
They looked at Yun Feidian and regained some of his confidence.
“Alliance Master, what should we do now?” the higher-ups of the Blood Alliance once again addressed Yun Feidian with respect.
“Now, what you need to do is not destroy the evidence or run away in panic. Of course, there is no need to use force and put up a last-ditch resistance. What era are we in now? Who would still resort to violence when they are desperate?”
Yun Feidian’s sharp eyes pierced through the screen and into the hearts of the Blood Alliance leaders. If you want to save your life and even your reputation, status, wealth, and future, you have to seize every second and prepare ‘bullets’ that are enough to blow up Dragon City’s financial market into smithereens and collapse!
“As long as Meng Chao says something that might shake the confidence of Dragon City’s financial market at the press conference later, we’ll shoot our ‘bullets’ and show him the Blood Alliance’s power!
“Remember, I want Dragon City’s financial market to flow with blood like a river; I want countless investors to lose all their capital; I want all the news and media outlets to cry in grief; I want all the markets and online shopping centers in Dragon City to sink into depression; I want every face in Dragon City to be frowning; I want everyone to look at their empty wallets, as well as sink into anger and despair. Last but not least, I want everyone to know that all of this was Meng Chao’s doing. He was the one who insisted on doing things his own way, which led to disaster!”
As Yun Feidian gritted his teeth, Meng Chao finally pushed aside the representatives from the Azure Alliance, as well as the nine mega corporations, and walked to the center of attention.
“Come on, let me see what kind of ‘truth’ you’re going to tell.”
Yun Feidian leaned back in his seat comfortably. The hostility on his face gradually disappeared, and he regained his calm.
At the scene of the Golden Roc’s explosion, Meng Chao stood on the ground, which had just been burned and riddled with holes. He looked at the cameras with their long lenses and spoke slowly with a calm expression.
“Townsfolk, my fellow citizens, I’m Meng Chao. I’m back.”
Meng Chao suppressed the overwhelming emotions in his chest. He took a deep breath and tried to control the tone and speed of his speech. “I believe everyone knows that a year ago, when I was cultivating at the top of Mist Mountain, I was attacked by the remnants of the monster civilization. I fell into the Raging Tiger River and disappeared.
“At that time, all the forces in Dragon City actively organized people to carry out a large-scale and long-term search and rescue. Unfortunately, they found nothing.
“That’s why many people assumed that I died.
“I’m incredibly lucky that I didn’t die in the waves of the Raging Tiger River or the bloody maws of the ferocious beasts, or fall into pieces under the powerful waterfall known as the Guillotine. Instead, I drifted with the current to the lower and middle reaches of the Raging Tiger River, which the locals call Picturesque Orchid Lake.
Even though Meng Chao tried his best to be direct, his words still stirred up a storm.
It did not matter whether it was the reporters present, the higher-ups of the Azure Alliance, the special envoys from the nine mega corporations, the several million citizens in the city who were watching the live broadcast, or even Yun Feidian, who was sitting in his mobile command vehicle and waiting for Meng Chao to do as he pleased.
They all subconsciously widened their eyes and pricked their ears.
This was because the lower and middle reaches of the Raging Tiger River were too important to Dragon City in the present and in the future.
Putting aside the fact that it had more living space than Monster Mountain Range…
Just the fact that the lower and middle reaches of the Raging Tiger River were the only path that Dragon City had to take to reach the depths of the Other World was enough to prove its strategic value.
